What to look for tonight against Phoenix

From what the Warriors themselves say, here’s what the team is looking for tonight against Phoenix

1. Executing in the half-court offense. That includes better screens and more passing. The goal is to get the ball in Steph Curry’s hands with space to shoot or drive. Curry assumed the burden of scoring on his own as the team tired during the seven-game road trip. “Without our execution, we have the best player in the world,” Draymond Green said. “Just give him the ball get out of the way and say, ‘Let’s have him get us a bucket.’ We can help him get buckets in a lot easier way.”

2. Defend the back cuts better. The team slipped in allowing cheap baskets down the stretch of the roadie. Green said he allowed far too many back-cut baskets in Milwaukee.

3. Pace will be blazing with the Suns. In the hurly-burly of the game, the Warriors have to stay calm and make the safe pass. Phoenix likes to gamble and jump into the passing lanes. If the Warriors are patient, they can get easy baskets.

Most of this is part of the Warriors’ formula every game. Let’s see if they can return to their style of execution.
